From Hittite to Homer: The Anatolian Background of Ancient Greek Epic
Bachvarova, Mary R. (Willamette University, Oregon)
This book takes a bold new approach to the prehistory of Homeric epic. It argues that the Near Eastern influence on early Greek hexameter poetry primarily came from a single Syro-Anatolian tradition of oral narrative song, which included the Song of Gilgamesh and the Kumarbi Cycle, starting in the eleventh century BCE.
